Adventures in Stamping - A Plate Ending in 9

I haven't had a chance to do a Stamping Sunday challenge in such a long time, I'm happy I was able to do a mani for this challenge beacuse it's Debbie (The Crumpet's) daughters birthday. So we were able to choose either a celebration mani, a plate ending in 9, or a birthday mani. I decided to choose a plate ending in 9. I used Cheeky Plate CH29 and used every image that was on that plate. I used Color Club Pardon My French for my base, stamped with Sally Hansen Sonic Bloom and Sally Hansen Red Chrome. For the tips I taped them off and used, Sally Hansen Sonic Bloom and KleanColor Chunky Holo Fuchsia.

Here's a swatch of Color Club Pardon My French:

Adventures in Stamping - Unnatural Animals

 I'll get right to the point, for this mani I used China Glaze Flying Dragon, Sinful Colors Endless Blue, Sinful Colors Black on Black, Icing Neon Pink and Konad plate M57.

And here is a picture of China Glaze Flying Dragon I just love this color soo much!

Adventures in Stamping - Inspired By Music

This weeks Adventures in Stamping is Inspired By Music and I got excited because I finally was able to use my music note stamps. WRONG! One of the rules was not to use any music notes, so I went back to the drawing board and couldn't think of anything. When finally it hit me at while I was at work, why not do the song I was obsessed with just a little back. It's a song from a Hawaiian artist named Anuhea, if any of you live in Hawaii you will definately know who I am talking about, she actually sang a song during the half time show of one of the Pro Bowl games. My absolute favorite song from her is called Crown Royal which happens to be my drink of choice. For this mani I used 2 coats of Sinful Colors Let's Talk, I then took a brush and drew on the Crown Royal using the Konad Special White nail polish, and for my ring I stamped with the Konad Special White and used Bundle Monster plate BM08. I then outlined each nail so it would look like thread with L'Oreal Paris Amazon's Flash.

Here are a couple of lyrics from the song:

"You wear your crown so royally

Dressed in purple majesty

With no intention for love intensity,

I've fallen in love with a king"

Adventures in Stamping - Stamping over a gradient OR Stamping using 2 stamps

Our challenge for todays stamping in Adventures in Stamping turned out to be a tie between Stamping over a gradient or stamping using 2 stamps. I originally voted for stamping over a gradient because I hadn't actually done a gradient before and I thought it would be fun to try something new. Boy was I wrong, I was getting irratated because nothing was turning out the way I wanted so I decided to choose the other option stamping using 2 stamps. I used 1 coat of Color Club Meet Me At My Chateau, stamping over it with Konad Special White and QA16 stamp plate. I then used China Glaze Adore and Red Angel plate RA-109. I topped everything off with 2 coats of Wireless Holographic Top Coat, I really should have just used one coat.

Have a fabulous Sunday everyone!!

Adventures in Stamping - A Non Stamping Mani

So I didn't really know what I wanted to do for this mani, I just knew it had to be a non stamping mani but I didn't want to do anything boring. I started out with 2 coats of Sally Hansen Grey Area and 1 coat of Seche Vite.

Then I took a dotting tool and put some Sally Hansen Deep Purple and Sally Hansen The Real Teal and just used the dotting tool to rub the polish onto my nail. It didn't turn out how I wanted it to, but I'm content with it. I added another coat of Seche Vite for the final outcome.

It almost looks like frosting on my nails. So there you have it my frosted mani! If you would like to join Adventures in Stamping click on the picture below to get to the page.

Adventures in Stamping - Black and White

This weeks theme in Adventures in Stamping is a Black and White theme. I started off with 1 coat of Sinful Colors Black on Black. I then used Konad Special Nail Polish White and Red Angel image plate RA-114 to stamp on my design.

I felt like there was still something missing so I added Sinful Colors Black on Black on my tips. I also used Essie Matte About You for my ring finger although you can't really tell.
